Virtual Reality (VR): A Review on its Application in Construction Safety
Main Article Content
Abstract
Technology has made workplaces safer and more effective. It has allowed us to increase efficiency, strengthen cooperation, and tackle more complex projects. Visualization technology application has established that simulated 3D site models have a strong ability to facilitate hazard identification and the cognition of worker's risk. Virtual Reality (VR) is one of the commonly recognized innovations that helps reduce the number of accidents in the workplace. Thus, this paper comprehensively discusses VR technology's role in construction safety achieved through a profound review of its applications, evolutions, and the challenges it imposes with its utilization. It is in line with the objectives of conducting an in-depth study of VR to address the knowledge gap that introduces these advanced technologies, such as providing sensitive information regarding its general concept, beneficial applications, and possible limitations. Like any technological advancement, the VR application still poses several challenges that are yet to be unraveled. Future study is expected to consider 1) inaccuracy between the user's actual movement and the virtual animation; 2) offering limited scope, therefore, overlooking other relevant factors; 3) work-intensiveness, relatively high cost and maintenance; and 4) technical complexity. Researchers recommended being considered for results are reviews based on their perspectives on its applications.
